Goldman, a city commissioner for eight years and a candidate for mayor, died on Sunday. He had been listed second on the ballot, next to punch-number 41.

Voting machines have been altered so that no one can vote for ``deceased,`` said Mary Womack, operations director of the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office. ``They won`t be able to punch 41.``

Officials for the city and the county elections office agreed to reprint Hollywood`s 450 ballots so that voters wouldn`t be confused or misled into believing that Goldman was still a candidate.

The reprinting will cost the city between $250 and $275, said City Clerk Martha Lambos.

Several other ways of altering the ballot were rejected, said City Attorney Andrew DeGraffenreidt III. Crossing out Goldman`s name or leaving his space on the ballot blank could lead to lawsuits because the ballot would appear distorted, DeGraffenreidt said.

The ballot lists Mara Giulianti next to punch-number 40, ``deceased`` next to 41, David Keating next to 42 and Andy Molinari next to 43.

Officials also rejected the idea of listing only the names of the three remaining candidates because they didn`t want to change the punch numbers, which are advertised on many of the candidates` literature.
